SECTION ONE
GENERAL INFORMATION
OVERVIEW OF CENTURION* VISION SYSTEM
Alcon’s Centurion* Vision System is an ophthalmic surgical instrument designed to provide

for cataract lens extraction using the Centurion* OZil* handpiece and the Infiniti* OZil*
handpiece.
The Centurion* Vision System is intended for use in small incision cataract lens extraction
and IOL injection surgical procedures. This system allows the surgeon to emulsify and
aspirate the lens in the eye, while replacing aspirated fluid and lens material with balanced
salt solution. This process maintains a stable (inflated) eye chamber volume. Using system
controls, the surgeon regulates the amount of power applied to the handpiece tip, the rate
of aspiration, vacuum, and the flow of BSS* irrigating solution. The system includes a
footswitch to enable the surgeon to
control flow of fluidics, aspiration
rate, phaco power, vitrectomy
cut rate, IOL injection rate, and
coagulation power.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Many of these warnings are stated elsewhere in this manual; however, for easy reference
they are repeated in greater detail here. If additional information is required, please
contact your local Alcon service representative, or the Technical Services Department.
There are no user serviceable components inside the Centurion* Vision System console
or footswitch. Refer all service issues to your factory-trained Alcon service engineer.
WARNINGS!
To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply
mains with protective earth (ground).
The Centurion* Vision System battery can only be serviced by a factory-trained Alcon
service engineer. Access by untrained personnel can lead to injury.
A qualified technician must perform a visual inspection of the following components

every twelve months:
• Warning Labels (see Figure 1-3)
• Power Cord
• Fuses
In case of a deficiency, do not use the system; call Alcon Technical Services.
A qualified technician must check ground continuity and leakage current every twelve
months to ensure they are within the limits of the applicable standards (for example:
EN60601-1/IEC60601-1). Values must be recorded, and if they are above the limits of
the applicable standards, or 50 % above initial measurement, do not use the system;
call Alcon Technical Services.
If the Centurion* Vision System is used at the 220 V - 240 V range in the United States
or Canada, it should be used on a center-tapped, 240 V single phase circuit.
Console isolation from mains is achieved through a two pole power switch. Turn OFF
power switch or unplug the power cord from wall outlet to achieve isolation from mains.
Do not use the Centurion* Vision System near flammable anesthetics.
Do not exceed maximum capacity of drain bag (500 ml). Excessive pressure can result
from exceeding drain bag maximum capacity and potentially result in a hazardous
condition for the patient.
Inadvertent actuation of Prime or Tune while a handpiece is in the eye can create a
hazardous condition that may result in patient injury.
Keep clear of display base when raising display from stored position to prevent skin,
hair, and /or clothing from being trapped at the base.
The maximum allowable load on the instrument tray is 20 lb. (9 kg).
Place the instrument tray in the stored position prior to transportation to avoid a
situation that could cause the system to tip.
Console might overbalance when it is pushed and its wheels are immobilized (blocked).
Route the footswitch cable, power cord and any other cables connected to the
Centurion* Vision System to avoid tripping.
8065752943 1.11
FOR REFERENCE ONLY
WARNINGS!
Appropriate use of Centurion* Vision System parameters and accessories is
important for successful procedures. Use of low vacuum limits, low flow rates, low
bottle heights, high power settings, extended power usage, power usage during
occlusion conditions (beeping tones), failure to sufficiently aspirate viscoelastic
prior to using power, excessively tight incisions, and combinations of the above
actions may result in significant temperature increases at incision site and inside
the eye, and lead to severe thermal eye tissue damage.
Good clinical practice dictates testing for adequate irrigation, aspiration flow, reflux,
and operation as applicable for each handpiece prior to entering eye.
Ensure that the tubings are not occluded during any phase of operation.
If the handpiece test chamber is collapsed after tuning, there is a potential of low
irrigation flow through the handpiece and may result in a fluidic imbalance. This, in
turn, may cause a shallowing or collapsing of the anterior chamber.
Avoid setting the patient above the FMS unless PEL is used. Operating with the patient
above the FMS without PEL adjustment will result in a lower irrigation pressure than
indicated on the display, and possible underventing.
Use of BSS* irrigating fluid bags other than those approved by Alcon for use in the
Active Fluidics* system can result in patient injury or system damage.
Use of appropriate technique and settings is important to minimize fragments and

turbulence.
Do not remove the FMS during the surgical procedure.
In the event of a system error release footswitch to the up position.
Improper handling or removal of dual irrigation handpiece tip from eye may cause
draining of the fluidics system.
CAUTIONS
• Modification of the equipment is NOT allowed without prior authorization
from the manufacturer. If this equipment is modified, appropriate inspection
and testing must be conducted to ensure continued safe use of the equipment.
• Avoid spilling BSS* irrigating solution, or moisture of any kind, around the
electrical handpiece connectors.
• Do not spray any liquid (i.e. cleaning solution or water) upward into the
console vents.
• Do not push or pull the unit by the display, the instrument tray, or the IV
pole. Wrapping around the rear and sides of the system is a handle provided
for moving the instrument. The unit should be pulled and not pushed,
especially over elevator and door thresholds.

Phaco Handpiece Care
Phaco handpieces are surgical instruments and must be handled with care. The
handpiece tip should not touch any solid object while in operation. Immediately
following surgery the handpiece must be thoroughly cleaned. Be sure handpiece
connector is completely dry before connecting it to console. For cleaning and
sterilization procedures, see the Directions for Use (DFU) supplied with the
handpiece.
WARNINGS!
If in the medical opinion of the physician a patient with a prion related disease
undergoes a high risk procedure, the instrument should be destroyed or be processed
according to local requirements.
Use of a phaco handpiece in the absence of irrigation flow and/or in the presence of
reduced or lost aspiration flow and/or sideways orientation of the Kelman* and OZil* 12
tips can cause excessive heating and potential thermal injury to adjacent eye tissues.
Appropriate use of Centurion* Vision System parameters and accessories is important

for successful procedures. Use of low vacuum limits, low flow rates, low bottle
heights, high power settings, extended power usage, power usage during occlusion
conditions (beeping tones), failure to sufficiently aspirate viscoelastic prior to using
power, excessively tight incisions, and combinations of the above actions may result
in significant temperature increases at incision site and inside the eye, and lead to
severe thermal eye tissue damage.
Use of an ultrasonic handpiece other than an OZil* torsional handpiece, or use of a

handpiece repaired without Alcon authorization, is not permitted, and may result in
patient injury, including potential shock hazard to patient and/or operator.
The U/S tips supplied in the Centurion* Vision System pack are only to be used on
an OZil* torsional handpiece. Each U/S tip is intended to be used only once per case,
and then disposed of according to local governing ordinances.
Mismatching U/S tips and infusion sleeves may create potentially hazardous fluidic
imbalances.
Directing energy toward non-lens material, such as iris or capsule, may cause
mechanical and/or thermal tissue damage.
Perform visual inspection of accessories for burs or bent tips prior to use.
Use of appropriate technique and settings is important to minimize fragments and

turbulence.
8065752943 1.13
FOR REFERENCE ONLY
CAUTIONS
Never ultrasonically clean the phaco handpiece; irreparable damage may result.
Prior to sterilization, the phaco handpiece should always have the connector end
cap secured and placed in the sterilization tray. This will prevent damage to the
connectors and handpieces during handling, and especially during autoclaving.
The phaco handpiece and Intrepid* AutoSert* IOL Injector must be at room
temperature just before use. Allow the handpiece to air cool for at least 15
minutes after autoclaving; never immerse the handpiece in liquid when hot.
Do not operate the phaco handpiece unless the tip is immersed in BSS* sterile
irrigating solution or distilled water or is in surgical use. Irreparable damage to
the handpiece and tip can result if run dry.
Ensure that test chamber is filled with BSS* sterile irrigating solution before
tuning the phaco handpiece. Tuning a handpiece dry may result in premature tip
failure and breakage.
Quenching a hot handpiece in water can cause damage and will void warranty.
Be sure handpiece is completely dry before connecting it to console. Damage to

handpiece and console may result if plugged in when wet.
Phaco Handpiece Tips
Ensure that handpiece tip is fully tightened to the handpiece. If not securely attached,
an error may be generated and/or inadequate tuning will occur. Ensure that the tip is
not too tight so that it can be removed after use.
Use of a tool other than tip wrenches supplied by Alcon may cause damage to the tip
and/or handpiece.
WARNING!
Poor clinical performance will result if tip is not secured tightly to the handpiece.
During any ultrasonic procedure, metal particles may result from inadvertent
touching of the ultrasonic tip with a second instrument. Another potential source
of metal particles resulting from any ultrasonic handpiece may be the result of
ultrasonic energy causing micro abrasion of the ultrasonic tip.

Ultraflow* II I/A Handpiece
Prior to each procedure inspect the two O-rings where the tip screws onto the
Ultraflow* II I/A handpiece. If damaged or missing, replace the o-rings. If in doubt,
contact Alcon's Technical Services Department.
WARNINGS!
Use of non-Alcon surgical reusable or disposable I/A handpieces that do not meet
Alcon surgical specifications, or use of an Alcon handpiece not specified for use with
the Centurion* Vision System, may result in a fluidic imbalance. This, in turn, may
cause a shallowing or collapsing of the anterior chamber.
Exceeding the recommended level of 100 mmHg (133 hPa) with a 0.5 mm or larger
I/A tip may cause anterior chamber shallowing and/or incarceration or tearing of
posterior capsule.
I/A tips are not to be used with a phaco handpiece.
Recommended Vacuum Range for I/A Tips
It is important that only the proper size I/A tip be used when operating with maximum
vacuum. Only 0.2 mm or 0.3 mm I/A tips should be used with vacuum limits above
100 mmHg (133 hPa). I/A adjustable vacuum range is 0 - 700 mmHg (0 - 933 hPa).
Centurion* Vitrectomy Probe
The vitrectomy probe, a guillotine vitreous cutter, is intended for single use only.
Vitrectomy cutting performance may vary at high altitudes. Consult Alcon Technical
Service for additional information.
WARNINGS!
Do not test or operate vitrectomy probe unless tip of probe is immersed in BSS *
sterile irrigating solution or distilled water or is in surgical use. Irreparable
damage to the probe and tip can result if run dry.
Connect pneumatic tubing connectors from vitrectomy probe to console prior to

initiating prime of probe. Initiating prime of the vitrectomy probe, or running the
vitrectomy system, with one or both pneumatic connectors disconnected may cause
the flow of non-sterile air over the sterile field for a brief moment.
Do not use vitrectomy probes that are not approved for use on Centurion* system.
After filling and testing, and before surgical use, verify that the probe is properly
actuating and aspirating. This may require lowering cut rate to achieve good
visualization. The port should always remain in open position in footpedal position 1.
If cutting port is partially closed while in position 1, replace the probe. Prior to entry
into the eye, and with tip of probe in sterile irrigating solution, the surgeon
should step on the footpedal for visual verification that the probe is cutting:
• If the cutter is observed to not fully close, or does not move when the probe
is actuated, replace the probe.
• If cutting port is partially closed while idle, replace the probe.
• If air bubbles are observed in the aspiration line or exiting the probe tip during
priming, replace the probe.
• If a reduction of cutting capability or vacuum is observed during the surgical
procedure, stop immediately and replace the probe.

FOR REFERENCE ONLY
Intrepid* AutoSert* IOL Injector
CAUTIONS
• Do not ultrasonically clean the AutoSert* IOL Injector connector. Ultrasonic
cleaning will cause irreparable damage.
• Use care when handling AutoSert* IOL Injector, particularly when cleaning. Always
clean handpiece over a surface cushioned with a pad or rubber mat.
• Be sure handpiece cable connector is dry before connecting it to the console.
• Do not disconnect cable connector from Centurion* system console until the IOL
Injector plunger is fully retracted.
• Do not immerse the AutoSert* IOL Injector in any fluid when the plunger is not
retracted.
• As part of a properly maintained surgical environment, it is recommended that
a backup IOL injector be made available in the event the AutoSert* IOL injector
handpiece does not perform as expected.
WARNINGS!
• The Intrepid* AutoSert* IOL Injector is non-sterile and must be cleaned and sterilized
prior to, and immediately after, each use.
• Never immerse the IOL injector in liquid after autoclaving; allow it to air cool for at
least 15 minutes. Quenching could result in a potentially hazardous condition for
the patient.
• The AutoSert* IOL Injector delivery system is for the implantation of Alcon qualified
AcrySof* foldable IOLs. Unqualified lenses shall not be used with the system. See
Intrepid* AutoSert* IOL Injector DFU or AcrySof* IOL DFU, or contact your Alcon
representative, for qualified lens/cartridge combinations.
• The cartridge/IOL combination listed in the DFU, along with Alcon settings, has
been validated per section 5 of BS EN ISO 11979-3:2006. Appropriate use of injector
handpiece settings is important for successful IOL implantation. Inappropriate use
of settings may lead to a potentially hazardous condition for the patient.
• Fully retract plunger before detaching nosecone from AutoSert* IOL Injector;
otherwise, this could expose non-sterile portion of shaft and result in a potentially
hazardous condition for the patient.
• The metal reusable plunger must be sterilized after each use. The reusable plunger
is to be installed onto the handpiece or into the wrench prior to sterilization.
Aspiration/Vacuum Adjustments
Adjusting aspiration rates or vacuum limits above the preset values may result in
aspiration levels (volumes) exceeding irrigation inflow.
WARNING!
Adjusting aspiration rates or vacuum limits above the preset values, or lowering the
IOP or IV pole below the preset values, may cause chamber shallowing or collapse
which may result in patient injury.

Presurgical Check-out Tests
Presurgical check-out tests must be performed as outlined in Section Three of this

manual (Operating Instructions). If an Event message is displayed on the front panel,
refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual. If the problem persists, DO NOT
PROCEED.
WARNINGS!
When filling handpiece test chamber, if stream of fluid is weak or absent, good
fluidics response will be jeopardized. Good clinical practice dictates the testing for
adequate irrigation and aspiration flow prior to entering the eye.
Ensure that tubings are not occluded or pinched during any phase of operation.
Perform visual inspection of accessories for burrs or bent tips prior to use.
IV Pole
WARNINGS!
Keep clear of the IV pole when it is in motion to prevent skin, hair, and/or clothing
from being trapped in the IV pole mechanism. The IV pole moves during power on/
off, priming, and bottle height adjustment.
IV pole rises automatically. To avoid stretching drip chamber tubing, and possibly
pulling drip chamber out of bottle, tubing must hang freely with no interference.
When out of use, remove fluid bottle from IV pole and flip bottle hanger into its storage
position to avoid injury.
Empirical numbers for bottle heights are not a replacement for competent surgical
technique. The surgeon should visually and physically monitor intraocular pressure.
Footswitch
If required, the footswitch may be wiped with alcohol, mild soap and water, or any
germicidal solution that is compatible with the plastic parts.
WARNING!
Route the footswitch cable properly to avoid tripping.
CAUTIONS
Do not clean the footswitch using solvents, abrasives, or any cleaner that is not
compatible with plastic parts made of LEXAN EXL9112. Damage may result.
Never pick up or move the footswitch by the cable. Dropping or kicking the
footswitch can cause irreparable damage.
8065752943 1.17
FOR REFERENCE ONLY
Occlusion Tones
Two different occlusion tones (intermittent beeping tones during occlusion) indicate
that the vacuum is near or at its preset limit, and aspiration flow is reduced or stopped
to avoid exceeding the limit. The first type, the I/A occlusion tone, sounds when
occlusion occurs during aspiration only (in the absence of ultrasonic power). The
I/A occlusion tone is a lower, intermittent single beep. The second type of occlusion
tone, the phaco occlusion tone, is a higher, intermittent double beep, and sounds when
occlusion occurs during application of ultrasonic power.
The I/A occlusion and phaco occlusion tones indicate that the vacuum has reached its
maximum allowed preset value. The I/A occlusion tone can be turned off, while the
phaco occlusion tone cannot be turned off.
WARNINGS!
The phaco occlusion bell indicates no aspiration flow. Use of high phaco settings
and/or prolonged use may lead to thermal injury.
Use of the phaco handpiece in the absence of irrigation flow and/or in the presence
of reduced or lost aspiration flow can cause excessive heating and potential thermal
injury to adjacent eye tissues.
In the event of a persistent loss of aspiration during the application of phaco

power, remove phaco power via footswitch control.
Vacuum Tone
A vacuum tone is provided. The pitch will vary relative to the amount of vacuum. A
high vacuum can indicate that little to no flow is occuring. This tone can be reduced
in volume, but not turned off.
WARNINGS!
A moderate to high vacuum tone may indicate little to no flow is occuring. Use of the
phaco handpiece in the absence of irrigation flow and/or in the presence of reduced
or lost aspiration flow can cause excessive heating and potential thermal injury to
adjacent eye tissues.
Do not exceed maximum capacity of drain bag (500 ml). Excessive pressure in drain
bag can result from exceeding its maximum capacity and potentially result in a
In the event of a persistent loss of aspiration during the application of phaco

power, remove phaco power via footswitch control.
Cautery, Diathermy, Coagulation Definition
The Centurion* Vision System uses the word “Coagulation” in place of Cautery or
Diathermy, based on the following definition:
Coagulation - Isolated, bipolar, high frequency current supplied to conductors (e.g.

forceps). Current passes between these electrodes, halting bleeding. (Abbreviated
“Coag” in some of the text of this operator’s manual.)

Coagulation Function

Listed below are general precautions to be followed when using the Coagulation function:
• To ensure safe operation of the coagulation function, only approved cables

and accessories must be used (See your Alcon representative). Coagulation
performance can be guaranteed only when using Alcon components or Alcon-
endorsed components.
• To reduce the risk of accidental burns, caution should always be taken when
operating high-frequency surgical equipment.
• Interference produced by the operation of high-frequency surgical equipment may
adversely influence the operation of other electronic equipment.
• Accessories should be checked regularly; electrode cables should particularly be
checked for possible damage to the insulation.
• Operation of the coagulation step is limited to extraocular uses only.
• The lowest power level in coagulation step should always be selected for the
intended purpose.
• Skin-to-skin contact (for example between the arms and body of the patient)
should be avoided, for example by insertion of dry gauze.
• When HF (high frequency) surgical equipment and physiological monitoring
equipment are used simultaneously on the same patient, any monitoring electrodes
should be placed as far as possible from the surgical electrodes. Needle monitoring
electrodes are not recommended.
• In all cases, monitoring systems incorporating high frequency current-limiting
devices are recommended.
• The cables to the surgical electrodes should be positioned in such a way that
contact with the patient or other leads is avoided.
• Temporarily unused active electrodes should be stored so that they are isolated
from the patient.
• The use of flammable anaesthetics or oxidizing gases such as nitrous oxide (N2O)
and oxygen should be avoided if a surgical procedure is carried out in the region of
the thorax or the head, unless these agents are sucked away.
• Non-flammable agents should be used for cleaning and disinfection wherever possible.
• Flammable agents used for cleaning or disinfecting, or as solvents of adhesives,
should be allowed to evaporate before the application of HF surgery. Some
materials, for example cotton, wool and gauze, when saturated with oxygen may
be ignited by sparks produced in normal use of the HF surgical equipment.
• Accessories should have a rated voltage equal to or greater than the maximum
coagulation output voltage.
WARNINGS!
Do not use the coagulation function on patients with pacemakers or implanted
defibrillatory devices. If electrosurgery is used on patients with implanted cardiac
pacemakers or defibrillatory devices or pacemaker electrodes, be aware that
irreparable damage to the pacemaker or defibrillatory device and its function
may occur and lead to ventricular fibrillation. Please check with the pacemaker
or defibrillatory device manufacturers for their recommendations.
Failure of the HF surgical equipment (coagulation circuitry) could result in an

unintended increase of output power.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION OF CENTURION* VISION SYSTEM
Description
Alcon’s Centurion* Vision System is a multi microprocessor-controlled ophthalmic
surgical instrument with associated memory and input/output (I/O) circuitry. The
system communicates to the user via its Front Panel display, with voice confirmations,
and with tones. An automatic self-test is initiated each time system power is turned
on.
This test checks a variety of functions including the following:
• Host CPU Assembly (including Display&Touchscreen)

• Footswitch Interface
• Multifunction Assembly
• Fluidics Assembly
• Active Fluidics* Assembly
• Phaco Assembly
• IV Pole Assembly
• Pneumatics Assembly
When the system successfully completes the self-test, it automatically goes into the
Setup mode. If the system fails the self-test, an Event message is displayed.
This section of the manual is broken into two major parts. The first part describes the
console and its accessories. All the parts of the system will be described, including
the display panel, Active Fluidics* system, gravity fluidics system, connectors, fluidics
interface, footswitch, remote control, and VideOverlay system. The second part of
this section describes the operator interface. This is where the display screens for
system setup, surgery, programming, and dialogs are shown.
Trademark Note
A button, mode, or step labeled OZil*, AutoSert*, or UltraChop refers to a display
screen control used with an OZil* torsional handpiece, Intrepid* AutoSert* IOL
injector, or Alcon's UltraChopper* tip, respectively.

CENTURION* VISION SYSTEM CONSOLE AND ACCESSORIES
DESCRIPTION OF CONSOLE
Fluidics Module
The fluidics module is located in the center of the front panel. The module allows
fast and easy insertion of the Fluidic Management System (FMS; i.e., cassette), and
because the module contains all the connections required, surgery can be started with
minimal delay.

devices required by the surgeon to perform cataract lens extraction surgery.

Front Display Panel and Touch Screen
The front display panel tilts and rotates, allowing easy maneuverability during setup and
surgery. For storage and transport, the front panel folds down. The front display is the
user's main source of system control, allowing fingertip command of system functions.
Adjustable Instrument Tray

The Centurion* Vision system provides an adjustable instrument tray within the sterile
field. The tray is capable of accommodating a variety of positions in the operating
room environment—right, left, front, and rear of the surgeon—and the tray is height
adjustable. There are curved metal rods on the tray that allow for creation of sterile
pouches when covered with a sterile tray support cover, and also provide cradles for
the IR remote control. Two rubber clips are built into the tray surface to neatly secure
the handpiece cables and tubing up and off unsterilized surfaces.
CAUTION
The maximum weight allowed on the instrument tray is 9.1 kg (20 lb.)
Front Panel Connectors

The front panel connectors are located on both sides of the fluidics module. The
front panel connectors provide three self-locking phaco handpiece connectors, two
connectors for the Intrepid* AutoSert* IOL Injector, one connector for a bipolar
coagulation handpiece, one connector for an Intrepid* Capsulotomy Device (future
feature), and luer lock pneumatic connectors for the Centurion* UltraVit* Probe. The
left row of connectors also includes a task light for the instrument tray. Symbols near
the connectors facilitate handpiece identification.
The Centurion* OZil* handpiece is recognized in the top two phaco handpiece
connectors; only the Infiniti* OZil* handpiece is recognized in the bottom. Only one
phaco handpiece can be connected at one time in either connector, unless the UltraChop
feature is enabled in which case the system will accept two phaco handpieces.

Standby Power Switch
This pushbutton switch is used to turn secondary power ON and OFF. If system
freezes and is unresponsive to operator commands, press Standby switch for five
seconds to shut down system, then re-boot.
Accessory Drawer
One drawer allows storage of miscellaneous accessories.
Audio Speakers
Three audio speakers are located on the front and each side of the console. These
speakers produce voice confirmations, in conjunction with multiple tones, to allow the
Centurion* Vision System to communicate with the user. Audible tones are generated
to indicate a change in the operating mode and to alert the operator of certain
conditions such as an occluded line. Additionally, a varied pitch tone is generated to
audibly indicate vacuum levels; the pitch increases as the vacuum level increases.
Speaker volumes are adjustable via the Custom menus.

Locking Caster Wheels
Four large caster wheels support the Centurion* Vision System. The wheels rotate
360º for ease of system mobility, and all four wheels have a locking lever to secure
the system in place. The wheels should always be locked when the unit is in use, and
unlocked when being moved.
Handle Bar
A handle bar wraps around the sides and back of the Centurion* Vision System, and
should always be used to move it.

To rotate the work surface and reveal the bag bay, press and hold the locking ring
while pressing sideways on the work surface (see left image in Figure 2-4). The right
image shows the work surface in the open position, allowing access to the bag bay.
Once open, the surface can be rotated until the mechanical lockout feature prevents
further rotation. When Active Fluidics* technology is used, this lockout feature
prevents inadvertent contact of the work surface against the bag of irrigating fluid and
its tubing. To return the work surface back to its stowed position, press and hold the
locking ring and press sideways on the work surface.
CAUTIONS
• The maximum weight allowed on the rotating surface is 4.55 kg (10 lb.)
• Work surface must not come in contact with bag of irrigating fluid.
Figure 2-4 Rotating Work Surface - To rotate working surface and gain access to the Active Fluidics*
bag bay, press down on locking ring and rotate work surface out of the way.

FLUIDICS ADMINISTRATION
The Centurion* Vision system supports two types of fluidics administration to deliver and
control fluidics fluid pressure: Gravity Fluidics is used for fluid administration using the
power IV pole, and Active Fluidics* technology is an automated system that administers
fluid from a bag of irrigating fluid within its bag bay (see Figure 2-3).
Power IV Pole and Hanger for Gravity Fluidics

For gravity fluidics a container of irrigating fluid is hung from a hanger on top of the
IV pole. Raising and lowering the pole increases and decreases the irrigation pressure
delivered to the tip of the handpiece. The hanger can be installed in 45° increments by
releasing the chrome nut at the bottom of the IV pole, lifting the pole up, and setting it
back down at the desired angle.
Bag Bay for Active Fluidics* Technology

For Active Fluidics* technology a bag of irrigating fluid is compressed between two
plates within the Active Fluidics* bag bay, located under the rotating work surface on
the top of the console. The pressure created by compressing the bag of irrigating fluid
is monitored to provide an accurate pressure source, allowing control of intraocular
pressure (IOP).
This precise pressure control creates the opportunity to tailor IOP performance based
on surgical preference. There are two functions related to Active Fluidics* technology
which allow the surgeon to tailor IOP performance: Irrigation Factor and IOP Ramp.
These functions are described later in this section of the manual (Fluidics Controls).
WARNING!
Use of irrigating fluid bags other than those approved by Alcon for use in the Active
Fluidics* system can result in patient injury or system damage.

DESCRIPTION OF FOOTSWITCH
The Centurion* Vision System utilizes the Centurion* footswitch (wireless or wired),
or can be used with the Laureate*, Constellation*, or Infiniti* wired footswitches (the
Constellation* and Infiniti* footswitches require a special cable to connect to the
Centurion* system). The Centurion* footswitch can be used wirelessly or can be wired
to the console, while the other footswitches must be wired. When the footswitch is
operated wirelessly, it retains the same functionality as it does when it is wired to the
system. The wireless footswitch is immune to interference from other wireless devices.
The footswitch icon button on the display screen is a graphical representation of the
footswitch connected. When connected, the current footpedal position (0, 1, 2, or
3) is displayed in the center of the icon, and a triangular arrow appears next to the
icon each time a switch is activated. If a footswitch is not connected, a wireframe
footswitch is shown in the status bar and no footpedal position is displayed.
Several functions within the system's operating modes are controlled by the surgeon
using the footswitch's footpedal and on/off toe switches (horizontal and vertical).
The footpedal enables the surgeon to control irrigation flow, aspiration rate, phaco
handpiece power, vitrectomy cutting, coagulation power, and IOL injection. The
switches are used to turn functions on/off, to adjust function settings, and to progress
through surgical steps.
The footswitch's footpedal and switch adjustments are programmable and are
available by pressing the Footswitch icon button at the top of the display screen, or by
selecting Custom/Doctor Settings/Footswitch (see Figure 2-7).
PRECAUTION: A power reset switch is located under the Centurion* footswitch. In

the case that a reset is required, simply press a cotton swab into the small hole in the
bottom to depress the switch and turn power back on (see Figure 2-9). Re-pairing of
the footswitch will restore the previously-programmed footswitch settings.
CAUTION
Never pick up or move the footswitch by the cable. Dropping or kicking the footswitch
can cause irreparable damage.

specified at the end of the treadle range. With fixed footpedal control, the parameter
output is fixed at its limit value throughout the treadle range.
Footswitch Range Spans

The footswitch's footpedal spans in each Range are programmable and are available
by pressing the Footswitch icon button at the top of the display screen, or by selecting
Custom/Doctor Settings/Footswitch (see Figure 2-7). The span of Range 0 is always
set at 0 to 5 % of the footpedal range, while Ranges 1, 2, and 3 can be changed in the
Footswitch Range Spans (%) window.
Detent
Footpedal detents identify the transition from one footpedal position to another. When
turned On, the footpedal vibrates when pressing through the detent from one position
into the next. The vibration power can be adjusted up and down with the two Strength
arrow keys.
Toe Switch Control

The footswitch has left and right toe switches that are assigned to control various
surgical functions. The two toe switches operate horizontally and vertically, each
direction actuating a function switch, controlling up to four system functions.
If the footpedal is not depressed, any mutually exclusive switch may be engaged. If
the footpedal is depressed, certain switches may or may not be allowed to engage.
Button Assignment
Footswitch button assignments are programmable and are available by pressing
the Footswitch icon button at the top of the display screen, or by selecting Custom/
Doctor Settings/Footswitch (see Figure 2-7). From this screen, press one of the blue
oval buttons next to the footswitch and select a function from the dropdown list (see
Figure 2-8).
The left horizonal switch is the only switch with a factory default action: Reflux. The
Reflux function can be selected for another switch, allowing the left horizontal switch
to be given another function. The Reflux function must always be assigned to a switch.
The other three switches are listed as None by default, their functions are mutually
exclusive, and each must be programmed by the user.
When a switch is given a function already designated to another switch, the other
switch is given a None designation. There are 15 choices, and they are None, Reflux,
Continuous Irrigation, Step +, Step -, Step +/-, Procedure +, Procedure -, Procedure
+/-, Vit Cutter, Toggle SGS, Toggle Video Overlay, Irrigation Pressure +, Irrigation
Pressure -, Irrigation Pressure +/-. The slide bar to the right of the selections is used to
expose the bottom five selections.

Pressing one of the Button Assignment buttons brings up a drop-down menu of functions
that can be activated with the surgeon's toe. Several selections are hidden below the
selections shown here; the slide bar on the right is used to expose the other selections.
Toe Switch Button Assignment Selections
• None - This selection is made to eliminate functionality from the toe switch.
• Reflux
The Reflux switch has dual functionality. In most modes of operation the switch
function is Reflux, while within the AutoSert* injector step the switch function is to
Retract the plunger. At least one toe switch must be dedicated to the Reflux function.
8065752943 2.11
FOR REFERENCE ONLY
Reflux: The default reflux pressure is equal to the current bottle height IOP
pressure. The reflux pressure can be increased using the Reflux Offset control in
the Custom/Doctor Settings/Fluidics menu. In all cases, reflux is not available
when the footpedal is depressed, and is not available in a Coagulation step.
Retract: In the AutoSert* injector step this switch moves the plunger in a reverse
direction. Control of this function is not allowed while the footpedal is depressed.
• Continuous Irrigation
Delegating Continuous Irrigation to a switch on the footswitch allows the user to turn
Continuous Irrigation on and off, whether or not it is enabled for the selected doctor.
• Step +, Step –
A switch may be assigned as step advance (Step +) or step back (Step –). The Setup,
Coagulation, and Anterior Vitrectomy steps are excluded from this stepping sequence.
If step advance or step back is assigned, when the switch is pressed, the next or
previous step to the current step is selected in the surgery menu.
• Step +/–
This switch assignment is used to step advance by pressing and releasing the switch,
or to step back by pressing and holding the switch. This switch will not enter the
Coagulation or Anterior Vitrectomy steps, but if pressed in a Coagulation or Anterior
Vitrectomy step, the system returns to the last-used step.
• Procedure +, Procedure –
A switch may be assigned to advance to the next procedure (Procedure +) or go back
to the preceding procedure (Procedure –). If procedure advance or procedure back is
assigned, when the switch is pressed, the next or preceding procedure to the current
procedure is selected.
• Procedure +/–
This switch assignment is used to advance to the next procedure by pressing and
releasing the switch, or go back to the preceding procedure by pressing and holding
the switch.
• Vit Cutter
When in Anterior Vitrectomy mode of operation, a selected footpedal button can be
assigned the function of enabling and disabling the vitrectomy cutter function.

• Toggle SGS
When using the Verion* Digital Marker Microscope (DMM) the doctor can turn the
SGS display on and off by pressing this programmed toe switch, allowing the doctor
to use the Centurion* system with and without a verion video display in his view or
on the DMM screen.
• Toggle Video Overlay

When using a Video Overlay system with the Centurion* system, the doctor can turn
the Video Overlay display on and off by pressing this programmed toe switch.

Charging Footswitch Battery

The footswitch battery can be charged using two different methods:
• The footswitch can be charged wirelessly by cradling it on Centurion* system
footswitch hanger on the rear panel of the console.
• The footswitch can be charged by cabling it to the connector at the bottom of the
Centurion* front panel. With system power turned on, the battery will be charged
through the cable.
Pairing Footswitch with Centurion* System

To change the wireless footswitch channel, the footswitch must first be cradled onto
the back of the system. This "pairs" the footswitch with the system and allows the
wireless footswitch channel to be changed in the Custom/System Settings/Wireless
tab. Note that since the wireless footswitch and other wireless devices (SGS, HDMC,
Microscope) share the same network, changing the wireless channel for the footswitch
will require a re-pairing of the other devices (see Custom/System Settings/Pairing tab).
The Centurion* wireless footswitch is powered by an internal battery. When first

attempting to use this footswitch wirelessly with the Centurion* system, it is
important that the battery have an appropriate charge. If the battery is not charged
adequately, the Centurion* system may not recognize the footswitch, and wireless use
with the Centurion* system cannot be guaranteed.

Footswitch Floor Security
The Centurion* footswitch has four spring-loaded ball plungers at each corner of the
bottom plate (see Figure 2-9). These ball plungers are designed to allow easy sliding
of the footswitch on a smooth floor, and yet still offer secure floor gription when the
weight of the surgeon's foot is resting upon it.
The weight of the surgeon's foot on the footswitch causes the spring-loaded
ball plungers to collapse, allowing the footswitch to rest on its rubber sole, thus
preventing it from sliding on the floor. The tension of the spring-loaded ball plungers
is adjustable to the surgeon's preference using a wide, flat-tip screwdriver. Simply
place the screwdriver directly on top of the ball and press down until the screwdriver
tip settles into the screw slot, then turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the spring tension.

DESCRIPTION OF IR REMOTE CONTROL
The IR remote control for the Centurion* system can be used in one of two ways.
It can be cradled in the curved metal rods that extend from the instrument tray, and
operated under the sterile tray support cover supplied in the disposable pack; this
offers the Scrub Nurse or Sterile Assistant access to the controls from the sterile field.
Alternatively, the Circulating Nurse can operate the remote control outside the sterile
field. Programmability and custom user setup features are functions which are not
accessible from the remote control.
CAUTION
Do not sterilize the remote control as it will damage the unit.
Remote Control Keys and Buttons

The remote control allows the user to quickly navigate procedure steps and make
simple parameter value adjustments (see Figure 2-11). The following describes the
remote control keys and buttons with the function of each, and explanations of when
they are valid. When a remote control key or button is pressed, a valid or invalid key
tone is generated as appropriate.
• Parameter Selection Button (, , , )

The keys on the remote control Parameter Selection button are pressed to select
parameters for adjustment, and to select Coag and Vit steps. The current selection
on the display screen is indicated with a yellow border. With this button the user can
move up, down, left, and right to select the desired parameter. This button is valid
when the footpedal and/or a footswitch button is up or depressed, but is invalid when
a dialog is displayed.
• Snap Keys (A, B, C, D, E, F)

Pressing remote control Snap Keys A through F causes the system to snap focus to
various parameter sections on the surgery screen, reducing the number of keystrokes
to invoke control of the desired section. When a parameter section is selected using
the remote control, the affected setting appears with a yellow border (see Figure
2-12), allowing its values to be adjusted using other remote control keys.

HANDPIECES, TIPS, AND INFUSION SLEEVES
Different handpieces, tips, and infusion sleeves are required for different procedural
steps and/or functions. A full selection of handpieces, along with tip styles and sizes
are available. Please contact your Alcon representative for information regarding the
appropriate handpieces, tips, and infusion sleeves for your specific technique and needs.
Following is a general description of the various handpieces, tips, and infusion

sleeves used to perform lens removal procedures.
Phaco Handpieces
Alcon's phaco handpieces integrate irrigation, aspiration and emulsification (see
Figures 2-15 & 2-16). The three functions of the lens extraction step enable the
surgeon to simultaneously maintain or inflate the anterior chamber, emulsify the lens,
and aspirate the lens material from the eye.
These handpieces require no disassembly other than removal of the disposable tubing,
the ultrasonic tip, and the infusion sleeve.

CEN
Figure 2-15 Centurion* OZil* Handpiece
Figure 2-16 Infiniti* OZil* Handpiece

Phaco handpieces are used for ultrasonic applications on the Centurion* Vision
System with TurboSonics* tips, including flared, ABS*, and/or Alcon's UltraChopper*
tips. For best OZil* torsional handpiece performance, use tips recommended by your
Alcon representative.
CAUTIONS
Do not test or operate a phaco handpiece unless the tip is immersed in sterile
irrigating fluid or distilled water or is in surgical use. Irreparable damage to the
handpiece and tip can result if run dry.
Ensure that test chamber is filled with sterile irrigating fluid before tuning the
phaco handpiece. Tuning a handpiece dry may result in premature tip failure and
breakage.
WARNINGS!
Use of an ultrasonic handpiece other than an OZil * handpiece, or use of a handpiece

repaired without Alcon authorization, is not permitted, and may result in patient
injury, including potential shock hazard to patient and/or operator.
Use of a phaco handpiece in the absence of irrigation flow and/or in the presence of
reduced or lost aspiration flow can cause excessive heating and potential thermal
injury to adjacent eye tissues.
8065752943 2.21
FOR REFERENCE ONLY
TurboSonics* Family of Tips
U/S tips are made of medical grade titanium alloy, and are attached to a phaco
handpiece to deliver mechanical energy to the lens, assisting in its removal by
aspiration (with the exception of Alcon's UltraChopper* tip – see below). Depending
on the needs and technique preferred by the surgeon, various styles of tips and tip
bevels are available (see Figure 2-17). Various U/S tip styles are color coded.
• 0.7 mm and 0.9 mm U/S Tips - The 0.7 mm and 0.9 mm ultrasonic tips are
designed to allow entry through a smaller incision. The 0.7 mm U/S tips are
designed for use only with 0.7 mm infusion sleeves; the 0.9 mm U/S tips are
designed for use only with 0.9 mm infusion sleeves.
• Aspiration Bypass System - The ABS* tip contains a small hole in the distal
portion of the tip’s wall. This helps to maintain fluid flow through the system even
during occlusion of the tip’s main port.
• Alcon's UltraChopper* Tip - This 0.9 mm U/S tip is designed for pre-chopping
only. It is not designed to aspirate lens material.
WARNINGS!
Use 0.7 mm tips with 0.7 mm infusion sleeves; use 0.9 mm tips with 0.9 mm
infusion sleeves. Mismatch of consumable components and use of settings not
specially adjusted for a particular combination of consumable components may
create a patient hazard.
Standard U/S Tip - The TurboSonics* tip with the Kelman* Tip - The Kelman* tip has a bent shaft
round shaft is the original, classical U/S tip shape. which generates torsional ultrasound motion, in addition
to the conventional longitudinal motion, to enhance cutting
efficiency. In addition, the 20 degree bend allows better
visibility during the surgical procedure.
OZil* 12 Tip - Similar to the Kelman* tip, except its bend
is 12 degrees instead of 20. This smaller bend maintains
good torsional cutting efficiency with similar ergonomics
to a straight tip.
Aspiration Bypass System Alcon’s UltraChopper* Tip - This tip is similar to a

standard phaco tip, but with a flattened, downward-curved
end to facilitate prechopping. This tip is used for fragmentation
of nuclei for a variety of densities to be used with an ultrasonic

has a double bend profile to enhance torsional cutting
efficiency with minimum incision misting and similar
ergonomics to a straight tip. The ABS* tip feature helps
maintain fluid flow, even during occlusion of the tip’s
main port.
Flared ABS* Tip - The Flared ABS* MicroTip and the
Mini-Flared ABS* Tip have a larger proximal port, providing
increased holding force. (Mini-Flared tips have a slightly smaller
proximal port than Flared versions.) Flared tips narrow in the
Tapered ABS* MicroTip - The tapered tip is a combination
middle of the shaft, thus allowing smaller incisions and improving
of the 0.9 mm tip and the flared tip. The shaft inner and

following occlusion breaks. To further enhance performance,
distal end is comparable to flared tips. The tapered
Flared tips also have the Aspiration Bypass System feature.
tip has the improved holding force of a flared tip, and
the same aspiration flow characteristics as a straight tip.
Figure 2-17 TurboSonics* Tips - Shown here are samples of handpiece tips used with Alcon phaco
handpieces.

Infusion Sleeves
Infusion sleeves cover the tip of the handpiece to provide irrigating fluid to the
anterior chamber of the eye during surgery (see Figure 2-18). Infusion sleeves are
used with phaco handpieces, and with the Ultraflow* II I/A handpiece. Infusion
sleeves must be correctly matched to the specific tip type (see the following
descriptions).
Depending on the needs and technique preferred by the surgeon, various styles of
infusion sleeves are available.

• Standard MicroSmooth* Infusion Sleeves - These are the original infusion sleeves.
Standard infusion sleeves are 0.9 mm (purple), to be used with 0.9 mm tips.
• Intrepid* Ultra Infusion Sleeves - Ultra infusion sleeves have a smaller shaft
diameter than original infusion sleeves. The smaller shaft diameter of the Ultra
infusion sleeves is compatible with a 2.2 mm incision. Ultra infusion sleeves are
available in 0.9 mm (rose) and 0.7 mm (yellow). Refer to consumable pack DFU
for compatible tips.
• Intrepid* Nano Infusion Sleeves - Nano infusion sleeves have a smaller shaft taper
and proximal outer diameter than Ultra infusion sleeves. The smaller proximal
OD and decreased taper of the Nano sleeves are compatible with a smaller 1.8 mm
incision. Nano infusion sleeves are available in 0.9 mm (orange) and 0.7 mm
(gray). Refer to consumable pack DFU for compatible tips.
WARNINGS!
Use 0.7 mm tips exclusively with 0.7 mm infusion sleeves; use 0.9 mm U/S tips
exclusively with 0.9 mm infusion sleeves. Mismatching U/S tips and infusion
sleeves may create potentially hazardous fluidic imbalances.
Mismatch of consumable components and use of settings not specially adjusted for
a particular combination of consumable components may create a patient hazard.

Ultraflow* II I/A Handpiece
The Ultraflow* II handpiece is used in I/A mode to maintain chamber pressure with
irrigation while removing cortical material via aspiration (see Figure 2-19). Refer to
the Ultraflow* II I/A Handpiece DFU for more information.
WARNINGS!
Use of non-ALCON* surgical reusable or disposable I/A handpieces that do not
meet Alcon surgical specifications, or use of an Alcon handpiece not specified
for use with the Centurion* Vision System, may result in a fluidic imbalance. This,
in turn, may cause a shallowing or collapsing of the anterior chamber.
Exceeding the recommended level of 100 mmHg (133 hPa) with a 0.5 mm or larger
I/A tip may cause anterior chamber shallowing and/or incarceration or tearing of
the posterior capsule.
Perform visual inspection of accessories for burrs or bent tips prior to use.
I/A tips are not to be used with phaco handpieces.

Intrepid* AutoSert* IOL Injector
The Intrepid* AutoSert* IOL Injector is intended to deliver qualified AcrySof* intraocular
lenses into the eye following cataract removal (see Figure 2-20). The IOL injector,
after proper preparation with a loaded, single use cartridge, gives the surgeon footpedal
control of AcrySof* lens insertion. The IOL injector supports the D/C cartridge or
Intrepid* cartridge and associated lenses. Please refer to the Intrepid* AutoSert* IOL
Injector DFU for qualified cartridge/IOL combinations.
The AutoSert* Injector step does not appear at the bottom of the surgery screen until it
is added through the Custom/Procedure Builder dialog.
When connected, the Centurion* system begins calibrating the IOL injector, and if
successful, it becomes ready for use, changing its icon in the adjustment bar from
gray to green.
The IOL injector comes with a detachable and reusable plunger. Please refer to the
Intrepid* AutoSert* IOL Injector DFU for instructions on proper preparation and use of
the handpiece and plunger.

Centurion* UltraVit* Probe
The Centurion* system supports the 23 gauge Centurion* UltraVit* vitrectomy probe
(see Figure 2-21). The probe is a sterile, single-use, vitreous cutter which provides
for aspiration and cutting. An irrigating cannula is provided in each pack to allow for
bimanual irrigation.
The 23 gauge Centurion* UltraVit* probe supports higher cut rates by utilizing an
additional pneumatic actuation line.
Each probe is completely preassembled and requires no lubrication or cleaning prior

to surgery. These guillotine vitreous cutters are intended for single use only.

the flow of non-sterile air over the sterile field for a brief moment.
After filling and testing, and before surgical use, verify that the probe is properly
actuating and aspirating. This may require lowering cut rate to achieve good
visualization. The port should always remain in open position in footpedal position 1.
If cutting port is partially closed while in position 1, replace the probe. Prior to entry
into the eye, and with tip of probe in sterile irrigating solution, the surgeon
should step on the footpedal for visual verification that the probe is cutting:
• If air bubbles are observed in the aspiration line or exiting the probe tip during
priming, replace the probe.

FLUIDIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Description
The Fluidic Management System (FMS; i.e., cassette) is an interface between
the Centurion* console (Fluidics Module) and the surgical handpiece (see Figure
2-22). It is used to regulate irrigating fluid to the handpiece, aspirate debris from
the handpiece, monitor irrigation and aspiration pressure, and deposit the debris
in a sealed drainage bag for disposal. This single assembly contains a rigid plastic
fluidic chamber, non-invasive pressure/vacuum sensor, drain bag, irrigating fluid
administration line, and irrigation and aspiration handpiece tubing.
Two types of FMS can be used with the Centurion* Vision System. For Active Fluidics*
technology the FMS has short, clear tubing with an irrigation spike that plugs into a
bag of irrigating fluid. For Gravity Fluidics the FMS has long, clear tubing with a drip
chamber that plugs into a container of irrigating fluid hanging from the IV pole.
The type of FMS inserted is automatically identified by the system when it is

inserted into the fluidics module. Inserting the FMS into the console fluidics module
establishes fluidics system connections, contributing to quick and easy surgical setup.

Centurion* Fluidic Management System Packs
When performing a phacoemulsification procedure, one-of-two Centurion* FMS packs
with handpiece tip is used. One FMS pack is specific for Active Fluidics* technology,
(when using bag of irrigating fluid in the bag bay) and the other is for gravity fluidics
(when using container of irrigating fluid hanging from IV pole). The pack can contain
all the items listed below:
• Fluidic Management System (FMS) - This single assembly consists of an

irrigating fluid administration line (tubing with a spike for Active Fluidics*
technology, or spike/drip chamber for gravity fluidics), irrigation tubing and
aspiration tubing, a plastic body (containing pump, valves, and sensors),
and a drainage bag (maximum capacity of 500 cc [500 mL]). Inserting the
FMS into its console receptacle establishes the Centurion* fluidic system,
allowing quick and easy surgical setup.
• U/S Tip with Tip Holder/Wrench - The tip attaches to the ultrasonic
handpiece. Securely tighten the tip with the all-in-one tip/wrench assembly,
then remove the wrench from the tip. Several tip designs are available.
• Infusion Sleeve - This single-piece silicone sleeve fits over the handpiece
tip to provide irrigating fluid into the eye, protection to the surrounding
tissues, and fluidic balance. Two infusion sleeves are provided; one to be
used with the phaco handpiece/tip, and a second to be used with the I/A
handpiece/tip.
• Test Chamber - The test chamber is a small elastomeric cap that fits over
the handpiece tip to facilitate a functional irrigation and aspiration check
of the handpiece and instrument prior to surgery.
• I/A Tip Wrench - A separate wrench is required to securely fasten the I/A tip
to its handpiece, and also to remove the tip when the surgery is completed.
• Tray Support Cover - The tray support cover is a sterile plastic bag that is
placed around the instrument tray and support arm. The cover is used to
form a pouch in the tray to provide storage for the handpiece and tubing
during surgery.
• Directions for Use (DFU) - Instructions for setup and removal of pack
contents (not shown).

VIDEOVERLAY SYSTEM (optional item)
Overview
The VideOverlay system accepts operating parameters from the Centurion* Vision System
and overlays that information onto video accepted from the microscope camera (see Figure

CENTURION* VISION SYSTEM OPERATOR INTERFACE
FRONT DISPLAY PANEL AND TOUCH SCREEN
The Centurion* Vision System front display panel and touch screen has a flat, non-
glare surface, and is mounted above the console. For ease of viewing the display
panel swivels and rotates, and it folds down into a protected position for storage.
Control buttons are located within the active touch screen area. There are three basic types
of pushbuttons on the display screen: up/down arrow buttons, momentary buttons, and
slider buttons. The user can press and hold the up/down arrow buttons until the desired
adjustment is complete, he can press the momentary buttons with a single push-and-
release to activate a function, and he can press and hold slider buttons while moving the
slider until the desired adjustment is complete.
The Centurion* Vision System emits an audible tone to indicate button activation.
Activation of a valid touchscreen button or remote control button results in a valid key
tone; an invalid button results in an invalid key tone, and sometimes its icon symbol is
ghosted to indicate an invalid function.
There are three types of display screens: the Setup screen, Surgery screens, and Dialogs.
• The Setup screen is used to prepare for surgery; i.e., priming the fluidic
management system and testing the handpiece.
• Surgery screens contain special surgical settings for each of the current surgical
procedures. Pressing the touch screen buttons (or footswitch or remote control)
allows the user to adjust the settings for his current step.
• Dialogs are displayed as a result of selecting an option from the Custom drop
list (i.e., Doctor Settings, System Settings, Procedure Builder, etc.) or pressing
the CDE or Remote buttons. Dialogs enable the user to view and modify system
settings, doctor settings, and some surgical settings. There is another class of
dialogs that are displayed when the user needs to be advised or warned of a
situation, or to indicate progress on a function in the Setup screen.

the list is the Alcon Settings doctor, which contains all the Alcon defaults. A summary
of Alcon Settings defaults can be found in Table 1-7.
PRECAUTION: When the selected Doctor Name is Alcon Settings, changes to

settings are temporary; although, when exiting Alcon Settings a dialog appears
allowing the user to save the settings under a new doctor name.
At the bottom of the list is the Manage Doctors selection which allows the user to
add a new doctor to the list, copy a doctor's settings to a new doctor name, rename a
doctor, and delete a doctor from the list. The doctors are listed with the most-recently-
selected doctor in the top position, immediately below Alcon Settings.
An asterisk is placed next to the doctor name if there are unsaved changes to surgical
parameters. For Alcon Settings only, an asterisk appears if there are changes to doctor
settings, but not if the only change is the addition or removal of steps.
WARNING!
Ensure that appropriate Centurion* system parameters and system settings are
selected prior to starting the procedure. Parameter and system settings include, but
are not limited to, mode, power, vacuum, aspiration flow rate, etc.

reflect the position of the footpedal (0, 1, 2, 3) as it is being depressed and released.
The information below applies to the Centurion* wireless footswitch, and does not
Laureate*
apply to the Laureate*, Constellation*, or Infiniti* footswitches.
• A Footswitch Battery Status vertical bar, next to the Footswitch button, displays
the wireless footswitch's battery charge with three cells. If the charge is low, one
or two yellow cells are displayed; if charged, three green cells are displayed. The
Constellation*
battery status bar is always displayed in the Setup screen. If the footswitch is not
charging, and the battery charge is good, no icon is shown in the Surgery screen. If
the footswitch is not charging, and the battery charge is low, the bar blinks slowly in
both screens. If the footswitch is charging, the bar turns green with a lightning bolt
Infiniti*
in the middle, and is shown in both screens.
• A stairstep bar-graph, located next to the Footswitch button, indicates the

Footswitch Signal Strength. If the wireless signal strength is low it shows 1 red
or 2 yellow bars; if signal strength is good it shows 3 to 5 green bars. If a wired
footswitch is being used, nothing is displayed. The signal strength icon is always
displayed in the Setup screen, but in the Surgery screen only when it is low.
When the Footswitch Network is disabled, a crossed-out stairstep bar-graph appears

(see Figure 2-41). Two conditions can make this occur. First, if the Footswitch
Network is set to Off (System Settings/Wireless tab), or second, if the radio has

been automatically disabled due to a radio conflict with another Alcon device. If the
Footswitch Network is disabled for either reason, the footswitch will change to a
wireframe image, and since other devices share the same Footswitch Network for a
particular console, their relative connection status will change from a green circle to
a white circle of dots.
Note: Should this occur, the Wireless Footswitch Network can be re-enabled on
a different channel. If operation on the same channel is desired, then the Wireless
Footswitch Network must first be disabled on the other Alcon Device causing the
conflict. Perform these steps to re-enable the Wireless Footswitch Network:
1. If the same channel is desired, disable the Footswitch Network on the Alcon
device causing the conflict.
2. Enter the Wireless tab under Custom/System Settings, turn the Footswitch
Network OFF, and press the green check mark button.
3. Enter the Wireless tab again, optionally select a different channel, turn the
Footswitch Network back ON, and press the green check mark button again.
1.6 Cumulative Dissipated Energy (CDE)

The current CDE value is displayed on this button. The Metrics dialog appears when
the button is pressed (see Figure 2-42). Metrics for Ultrasonics and Fluidics are
displayed for the current surgical procedure. Pressing the Cancel (X) button retains the
metrics and returns the system to the last screen used. Pressing the Reset Metrics ()
button resets all metrics to zero and returns the system to the last screen used.
The CDE values are reached using the equations shown in Table 2-4.
1.7 Wireless Device Pairing Indicator

A circle, with a letter in the center, at the right end of the status panel indicates the
status of wireless devices (see Figure 2-41). A solid green circle around the letter
indicates that the wireless device is paired with the Centurion* system, while a
ring of white dots around the letter indicates that the device is not paired. Pairing
is conducted in the Custom/System Settings/Pairing window. Devices that can be
wirelessly paired are the Verion* Digital Marker Microscope (DMM, in the SGS tab),
High Definition Media Center (HDMC, which is a future enhancement), and LuxOR*
LX3 Microscope (Microscope).

Total Case Time

The timer starts (Case Begin) when first step is chosen and footpedal is depressed. The timer stops (Case Ended)
when the FMS and all active handpieces are removed. The timer pauses when system is placed in Set-up mode
(Case is Inactive).
Ultrasonics
U/S Total Time: Sum of Longitudinal Time and Torsional Time.
Average Longitudinal Power: Average Longitudinal power over the time when Longitudinal power was applied.
For example, if Ultrasound Burst mode was selected and 100 mS burst pulses at 70% stroke were generated once
a second, the Average Longitudinal Power would record 70%.
Average Longitudinal Power (FP3): Average Longitudinal power over the time when Longitudinal power was applied
in footpedal position 3. This takes into account the U/S modulation aspects, resulting in a significantly lower reading
than Average Longitudinal Power. For example, if Ultrasound Burst mode was selected and 100 mS burst pulses at
70% stroke were generated once a second, the Average Longitudinal Power in Position 3 would record 7%.
Total Longitudinal Power On Time: Total time Longitudinal power was active. This records the Longitudinal On-
time, displayed in minutes and seconds.
Average Torsional Amplitude: Average torsional amplitude over the time when torsional power was applied. For
example, if OZil* Burst mode was selected and 100 mS burst pulses at 70% amplitude were generated once a
second, the Average torsional amplitude would record 70%.
Average Torsional Amplitude (FP3): Average torsional amplitude over the time when torsional power was applied
in footpedal position 3. This takes into account the U/S modulation aspects, resulting in a significantly lower reading
than Average Torsional Amplitude. For example, if Ultrasound Burst mode was selected and 100 mS burst pulses
at 70% amplitude were generated once a second, the Average Torsional Amplitude in Position 3 would record 7%.
Total Torsional Amplitude On Time: Total time torsional power was active. This records the torsional On-time in
minutes and seconds.
Equivalent Average Torsional Amplitude (FP3): Average U/S energy in footpedal position 3 calculated as:
0.4 x Average Torsional Amplitude in Position 3.
Equivalent Average Ultrasonic Power (FP3): CDE
U/S Total Time
Cumulative Dissipated Energy (CDE): Total U/S energy in footpedal position 3 (both longitudinal and torsional)
calculated as:
(Longitudinal Time x Average Longitudinal Power) + (Torsional Time x 0.4 x Average Torsional Amplitude)
The factor 0.4 represents approximate reduction of heat dissipated at incision as compared to conventional phaco.
Fluidics
Total Aspiration Time: Total time the system was aspirating.
Estimated Fluid Usage: An estimation of the volume of fluid aspirated based on system settings and time.

• Continuous Irrigation Auto Suspend Sensitivity - The Continuous Irrigation Auto
Suspend feature is used to automatically turn continuous irrigation Off when the
handpiece is removed from the eye. The threshold value ranges from 0 (Off) to
10 (Max). The threshold is used to customize the performance to the particular
surgical environment such as tip/sleeve combination and height of instrument tray.
• Continuous Irrigation - Continuous Irrigation is applicable for lens removal, I/A,

Autosert* injector, and vitrectomy surgical steps. When Continuous Irrigation
is set to On (enabled), continuous irrigation will be active following the first
footpedal depression and the continuous irrigation On tone is generated. When
transitioning to another step of the same surgical type, continuous irrigation
remains activated. When transitioning to a step that is a different surgical type,
continuous irrigation is deactivated, paused, then re-activated when the footpedal
is depressed (except for Coagulation).
If a toe switch button is assigned to control Continuous Irrigation, when the

footswitch treadle is in position 0, fluid flow can be manually paused by
depressing this button. The Continuous Irrigation fluid flow will be re-enabled
once the treadle is again depressed. Alternatively, Continuous Irrigation flow can
be automatically paused by enabling the Continuous Irrigation Auto Suspend
Sensitivity control (Doctor Settings Fluidics tab).
• Reflux Offset (cmH2O [hPa]) - Reflux pressure is limited to a level equal to the
current infusion pressure plus the value specified for the Reflux Offset, or the
maximum infusion pressure the system is capable of, whichever is less.
• IOP FPO Ramp Control - This setting controls the starting irrigation pressure by
which ramping continues until the target IOP setting has been achieved. Setting
to Auto, the system will use the actual pressure at the handpiece tip as the starting
pressure. Setting to Manual, the system will use the target IOP setting as the
starting pressure.
8065752943 2.49

• Estimated Leakage Comp (cc/min [mL/min]) - Estimated Leakage Compensation
adjusts for pressure losses due to incision leakage while the system is maintaining
the programmed target IOP. Increasing this value is similar to adjusting the target
IOP setting.
• Irrigation Pressure Drop (%) - When the acquired value of the irrigation pressure
sensor is below the value specified by the Irrigation Pressure Drop, the system
will display an advisory dialog. When this setting is 100%, this feature is disabled.
• Vent Time Adjustment - This feature is used to adjust the degree of venting
pressure at the handpiece tip that is adjusted in response to a vent (during
transition from footpedal position 2 to position 1). There are three settings: Min,
Medium, and Max. Minimum is the default which provides unmodified venting
performance. Settings Mid and Max increase the net pressure experienced at the
handpiece tip after a vent.

• Irrigation Type Default - This button sets the type of fluidics displayed as the
system default. The Active Fluidics* FMS is shown with a bag of BSS* irrigating
fluid in the system's bag bay. The Gravity fluidics FMS is shown with a container
of BSS* irrigating fluid hanging from the IV pole hook.
• Irrigation Fill - When Irrigation Fill is turned On, irrigation is activated without
reflux to the handpiece (fluid will only stream from irrigation port). The result is
that the Irrigation Fill step replaces the Fill step, in all instances, for all users of the
console. When turned Off, the Fill step activates both irrigation and reflux to clear
air bubbles from the fluidics system.
• SI Units - Display objects are converted to SI units when turned On. The unit
labels and displayed values are converted as follows:
Default Units Label SI Units Label SI Value

“mmHg” “hPa” hPa = mmHg * 1.33322
“cmH2O” “hPa” hPa = cmH2O * 0.980638
“cc/min” “mm3/sec” mm3/sec = cc/min * 16.667

Custom / System Settings / Wireless Tab
The Centurion supports three distinct wireless networks. The first network is the
Footswitch Network which allows the Centurion* wireless footswitch to communicate
to the console. The Centurion* footswitch network is also shared by other associated
devices, namely the LX3 microscope and the Surgical Guidance System (SGS /
Verion* Link). The HDMC is a feature not supported at this time.
The second network is the Wi-Fi Network. This network refers to wireless connection
to the VideOverlay device. Proper channel selection for each network is important to
ensure a quality wireless connection; select the optimal channel for your environment
to avoid conflict.
The third network refers to the wireless connection between the Centurion* System
and the facility's wireless network that enables the Centurion* System to communicate
to Alcon for the purpose of uploading event logs. The configuration of this network is
described under the "Upload" tab. This tab is not visible unless enabled by your Alcon
representative.
• Footswitch Network - This setting is used to turn the Centurion* wireless

footswitch network On or Off. When the wirelesss network is On, a footpedal
icon appears in the middle of the status panel. When the wireless network is Off,
a wireframe footswitch is shown in the status bar and five white bars with a strike
appears in the status panel below the CDE display.
• Footswitch Channel - Used to adjust the displayed channel value up or down

to select the channel that maximizes signal quality from the footswitch. Fifteen
channels are offered (the letters A through O). These selections offer a unique
channel for each Centurion* system when multiple systems are in the facility.
While searching for the channel with the best signal quality, the quality of each
wireless connection is indicated with a bargraph of zero to five vertical bars,
increasing in height, and the color of the bars. Five green bars indicate high
Figure 2-53 System Settings Dialog Screen - Wireless Tab

quality, four yellow bars indicate medium quality (shown in Figure 2-53), three
orange bars indicate low quality, and two red bars indicate channel conflict.
Note that the channel quality indication is only displayed while searching for an
alternate channel. The bargraph will turn grey and display zero colored bars to
indicate it is now the active channel when the new channel has been saved by
pressing the green check mark at bottom of dialog.

To change Footswitch Channel, the footswitch must either be cradled onto the back
of the system or cabled to the front of the system. Either of these two actions "pairs"
the footswitch with the system, allowing the Footswitch Channel to to be changed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Changing the Footswitch Channel un-pairs all footswitch

network devices, including the footswitch. After the channel is changed, all
network devices must be paired again.
• Footswitch Network Region - This feature establishes the appropriate network

configuration for a particular region of the world (Japan, North America, World).
• Wi-Fi Network - These buttons turn the Wireless Network On and Off. If it is desired
to use the VideOverlay wirelessly, then the wireless network must be turned ON.
• Wi-Fi Channel - Sets wireless channel. Change this setting in the event of a conflict
with another wireless device.
The Footswitch Network and Wi-Fi Network share the same frequency band for
communication. The colored dot next to the Wi-Fi Channel is used to indicate if
there is a conflict between those two networks; a green dot indicates no conflict, and
a red dot indicates a conflict. Should a red dot exist, then either the Wi-Fi Channel or
Footswitch Channel should be changed.
• Wi-Fi Network Region - The Wi-Fi Network Region setting establishes the
transmit power level and available channels associated with a particular region
(Japan, North America, Europe, and World). The settings should not be changed
once established for the region of use.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Footswitch Network and Wi-Fi Network Region
settings establish the transmit power level and available channels associated
with a particular region and should not be changed once established for the
region of use. Please contact your Alcon Technical Service Representative for
information regarding applicable restrictions.
• Wi-Fi SSID - Shows Current Wi-Fi Network SSID system setting; this is the
unique identification of the system on the Wi-Fi network. The Change SSID
button is used to modify the system identification on the network. Currently,
the Wi-Fi network supports the Wireless VideOverlay device. Therefore, this
setting for Wi-Fi SSID corresponds to the unique identification for the particular
VideOverlay device to be paired with the Centurion unit.

3. Setup Steps
This area of the Setup Window is used for initiating setup functions (see Figure 2-68).
If a user-defined doctor has been added in addition to Alcon Settings, at power-up the
system enters the grayed-out Setup Screen with the Select Doctor dialog displayed.
In this case, one of the doctor names must be selected to continue with the system
setup. After selecting a doctor, the Setup Screen appears, and the Prime FMS button is
highlighted.
PRECAUTION: It is important to follow the setup sequence as indicated on the

Centurion* Vision System display screen and/or as written in section three of this
operator's manual. Not following the directions could lead to priming failures.
Prime FMS / Prime Bag Button

When the system is initially turned on, the button is labeled Prime FMS. After
priming, for Active Fluidics* technology the button becomes Prime Bag, but for
Gravity Fluidics the button remains Prime FMS. The Prime FMS / Prime Bag button
may be selected as long as a valid fluid container and FMS is installed, regardless of
current prime and tune status.
With the irrigation and aspiration luer fittings connected together, the priming
sequence can be initiated. When selected, a Prime FMS or Prime Bag dialog appears
with a progress bar that shows the progress of the draw fluid priming sequence. When
the priming and vacuum checks are completed successfully, the prime status becomes
“Primed” and the Fill Button is highlighted.

connected to it, pressing the Fill button activates the fluidics system to fill the
handpiece. During the fill process the Fill Handpiece dialog appears on the screen
with a progress bar that shows the progress of the filling sequence. Also displayed in
the dialog is a Cancel button (X) and an Advance to Test Handpiece button.
Once the fill sequence is initiated it can be aborted by pressing the Cancel button (X),
whereby the Fill Handpiece dialog closes and the Fill button darkens but remains
highlighted. If Advance to Test Handpiece is pressed, the Fill dialog closes and the
Test Handpiece function is selected.
Test Handpiece Button

The Test Handpiece button may be selected only when the FMS is primed and a
phaco handpiece is connected.
The Centurion* Vision System allows a Centurion* OZil* handpiece and Infiniti*
OZil* handpiece to be connected at the same time, but the user must perform the Test
Handpiece sequence for each handpiece. Pressing the Swap Phaco / UltraChop button
switches handpieces for the testing sequence.
When the Test Handpiece button is selected the test handpiece dialog will display
progress of the flow check and vacuum check. A Cancel button also appears. Once the
test sequence is initiated, it can be aborted by the user by pressing the Cancel button
(X) or removing the FMS, or it can be left to proceed to completion.
PEL Button
By default, the Verify PEL (cm) dialog appears upon successful completion of the
handpiece test sequence. This can be changed to a manual step by entering the
Custom/Doctor Settings/General dialog and pressing the Verify PEL Off button.
Surgery Button
Pressing the Surgery button takes the user to a Surgery Screen as determined by the
procedure selected. The first surgery step for the doctor’s procedure is entered.

SURGERY SCREEN AND ITS FUNCTIONS
The Surgery Screen contains the buttons, readouts, and controls that allow the user to
perform surgical functions. This screen is displayed when one of the following occurs:
• The Surgery button is pressed from the Setup Screen.
• The handpiece and priming functions are completed in the Setup Screen and no
other connected handpieces are “Not Tuned.”
The Surgery Screen is divided into three sections (see Figure 2-69). At the top is the
Status Panel, below that is the Surgery Window, and below that is a row of Surgery
Steps.
Depending on the procedure type and surgery step selected, the Surgery Screen
contains tools and surgical parameters corresponding to the selections. Although
several representative surgery screens are shown in this section of the manual, not all
screens showing handpiece/procedure/steps are shown.
1. Status Panel
The buttons in the surgery Status Panel are the same as the buttons in the setup Status
Panel (see Setup Screen earlier in this section of the manual for descriptions).
2. Surgery Window
The Surgery Window occupies the center of the Surgery Screen and is broken into
upper and lower halves. The top half has the surgery controls, and the lower half has
the fluidics controls, both of which are described on the following pages.

700+ mmHg [933+ hPa], then the upper limit does not exist.)
Each surgery step has operating parameter settings that are established by default.
During surgery the user may change the parameters in any of the steps. Any
parameter changes made may be explicitly saved by the user using the Save As
option (if Alcon Settings is doctor) or the Save option (if other than Alcon Settings is
doctor) from the Custom drop list. Also, if there are unsaved changes to the surgery
steps and the user changes the doctor or lens removal procedure, a dialog box appears
asking the user to save or discard any unsaved changes. Powering down the system
automatically dismisses any unsaved changes.
2.1 Surgery Controls

For Phaco steps, Coag steps, Vitrectomy steps, Coagulation steps, and AutoSert*
injector steps, the upper half of the Surgery Window contains the surgery controls (see
Figure 2-70). The surgery controls available are dependent on the type of step selected.

Oval Display Buttons
Oval display buttons (see Figure 2-70) show parameter settings for a procedure in
its current step. Pressing an Oval Display Button brings up a dialog where the user
can change settings for each footpedal position within a step (see Figure 2-71). This
dialog includes buttons to toggle between linear (/) or fixed (–) footpedal control, up
and down buttons to adjust setting values in small increments, and slide buttons to
quickly adjust setting values in large increments.

icon in the Task Light button shows light rays; when turned off the light rays are muted.
Custom Button
Pressing this button presents a list of features that can be selected, allowing the user
to adjust system settings to the surgeon's preferences. This feature is discussed at
length earlier in this section of the operator's manual.
8065752943 2.75
FOR REFERENCE ONLY
IP Button
Intelligent Phaco (IP) is used to deliver a reduced magnitude of phaco energy when
a vacuum threshold setting is exceeded. This reduced phaco energy is applied only
as necessary, and continues until the vacuum drops below the trigger threshold. The
same IP settings are used for each enabled phaco step.
Pressing the IP button while in a phaco step causes the IP Settings dialog to appear
on the screen (see Figure 2-72). Intelligent Phaco is enabled by pressing the On
button, or disabled by pressing the Off button. After selecting On or Off and pressing
the confirmation button (), the dialog closes. When the IP feature is enabled for a
particular phaco step, the IP button is animated; when disabled, it is colored gray.
The adjustable settings are Longitudinal Pulse Duration, Vacuum Threshold, and
Longitudinal/Torsional Ratio. These settings are user-adjustable so the user can
specify the vacuum limit at which the IP feature is activated, and the amount of
energy that is delivered when activated.
• Longitudinal Pulse Duration (ms) - Longitudinal Pulse Duration specifies the

on-time of an applied longitudinal phaco pulse during activation, from 0 to 20
milliseconds. These phaco pulses are applied until the vacuum level falls below
the Vacuum Threshold setting.
• Vacuum Threshold (% of Vacuum Limit) - The Vacuum Threshold setting determines

the percentage of the vacuum limit set value at which the IP feature is activated and
its specified phaco power is applied. When vacuum reaches and/or exceeds the
vacuum threshold, then the IP feature, if enabled, is activated. When the vacuum
drops below the vacuum threshold value, then the IP feature is deactivated. The
vacuum threshold ranges from 90% to 100% of vacuum limit.
• Longitudinal / Torsional Ratio - The Longitudinal / Torsional Ratio establishes the

applied phaco power level relative to the applied torsional amplitude. This ratio is
expressed as a decimal fraction and ranges from 0.5 to 1.0.
Figure 2-72 IP Dialog - Intelligent Phaco can be turned on and off for the current step by
pressing the On and Off buttons in this dialog, then pressing the confirmation button ().

2.2 Fluidics Controls
The lower half of the Surgery Window contains the Fluidics Controls (see Figures
2-73 and 2-74). These parameters always involve irrigation, vacuum, and aspiration
controls, and are independent of the Surgery Controls. Fluidics Controls are not
available in the Coagulation step, and for the AutoSert* injector step IOP controls can
be enabled in the Custom/Doctor Settings/Advanced tab.
Fluidics Administration
The Centurion* Vision system supports two types of fluidics administration to deliver
and control fluid pressure: Active Fluidics* technology is an automated system that
administers fluid from a bag of BSS* irrigating fluid within its bag bay (see Figure
2-73), and Gravity Fluidics is used for fluid administration using the power IV pole
(see Figure 2-74).
IOP Control (used with Active Fluidics* technology)

When the Active Fluidics* FMS is used, IOP (IntraOcular Pressure) control
functionality becomes enabled. Active Fluidics* technology allows control and
maintenance of intraocular pressure under the varying conditions experienced during
surgery. Figures 2-75 (fixed) and 2-76 (linear) depict the surgery screen with Active
Fluidics* technology in use. The vertical lines within the oval display button depict
the separation of footpedal positions.
IOP Fluid Bag (used with Active Fluidics* technology)

The IOP fluid bag “fuel gauge” provides an estimated value of remaining BSS*
irrigating fluid within the irrigation bag when using the Active Fluidics* FMS. As the
procedure progresses the indicated value ranges from full (>500 ml) to empty (0 ml).
If the volume drops to below 100 ml, the bag color changes from blue to red. An
advisory is issued when the usable bag volume drops to 0 ml.
IOP Settings (used with Active Fluidics* technology)

Pressing the IOP oval display button brings up the IOP Setpoints dialog (see Figures
2-75 & 2-76). This dialog allows for tailoring of IOP level as a function of footswitch
position. The vertical separation lines indicate the transition point between footswitch
positions. The dialog in Figure 2-76 shows that linear/fixed buttons have been
pressed to activate fixed footpedal control in position 1, and linear footpedal control
in footpedal positions 2 and 3. The Up/Down buttons, or the Slide button, have been
used to adjust new IOP settings.
IV Pole Settings (used with gravity fluidics)

When the Gravity Fluidics FMS is used, traditional gravity-fed irrigation pressure is
provided from a container of BSS* irrigating fluid hung from a hook on the motorized
IV pole (see Figure 2-74). Irrigation pressure is increased or decreased by raising or
lowering the IV pole.
Using gravity fluidics, raising the IV pole to its maximum height of 150 cm results
in maximum irrigation pressure (150 cm includes a 110 cm maximum vertical height
above the pressure sensor plus a maximum PEL of -40 cm). In the event of power
loss, bottle position is maintained; however, if the unit is turned off using the Standby
switch, the IV pole automatically retracts to its storage position.

Vacuum Settings
The operator can adjust the vacuum limit (Vacuum / mmHg) using the front display
panel or the remote control. The adjustable vacuum limit range is 0 to 700+ mmHg (0
to 933+ hPa), where 700+ mmHg (933+ hPa) is limited by atmospheric pressure.
Aspiration Settings
The operator can adjust the aspiration limit (Asp Flow / cc/min) using the front
display panel or the remote control. The adjustable aspiration limit range is 0 to
60 cc/min (0 to 60 mL/min).
Continuous Irrigation
Continuous Irrigation (Cont Irr) is available in most surgical steps (except Coag)
and allows for irrigation of the eye during surgery by opening the irrigation valve,
regardless of footswitch position. The Continuous Irrigation mode default setting can
be set to On or Off through the Custom / Doctor Settings / Fluidics tab.
When Continuous Irrigation is enabled, footpedal range 1 is eliminated, thereby

expanding the range of footpedal position 2. Continuous Irrigation remains enabled
until transitioning to another step where Continuous Irrigation is disabled (irrigation
valve off). Continuous Irrigation may also be automatically turned off when the tip is
removed from the eye as determined by the Continuous Irrigation Auto-Off Threshold
setting (Custom / Doctor Settings / Fluidics tab).
Continuous Irrigation can be turned On and Off by doing the following:

- Press the Cont Irr button on the surgery screen.
- Use the remote control's Parameter Selection keys to select the Cont Irr button, then
press the + or - key on the remote control.
- Program a footswitch switch for the Continuous Irrigation function, then press the
designated switch on the footswitch.
PRECAUTION: Before switching handpieces it is advised to exit the eye, then turn
Continuous Irrigation off to close the irrigation valve and prevent excess BSS* sterile
irrigating solution from flowing out of the handpiece.
Eq. Bottle Height = (cmH2O) (used with Active Fluidics* technology)

Equivalent Bottle Height is calculated when using Active Fluidics* technology
to present the comparative bottle height if the IV pole was used for fluidic
administration. The equivalent IV pole height is calculated from the value in the IOP
oval display button (1 mmHg = 1.36 cmH20 = 1.33 hPa).
Bottle Height (cm) (used with gravity fluidics)

This readout shows the irrigation pressure at the selected IV pole height.
PEL (cm)
The PEL button allows adjustment of the Patient Eye Level setting from the surgery
screen. (For details on setting the PEL, see the Setup Screen description.)

Vacuum Rise
At the onset of an occlusion, it may be desired to slow down the activity at the
ultrasound tip. The Vacuum Rise feature slows the aspiration pump rate, decreasing
the rate at which vacuum level rises when the ultrasound tip begins occluding. The
setting values range from 0 (unadjusted rise time) to -1 to -2 (slowest rise time).
IOP Ramp (s) (used with Active Fluidics* technology)

IOP Ramp control applies whenever Active Fluidics* technology is used. The
IOP Ramp feature is intended to soften the pressure change impact on the anterior
chamber upon irrigation initiation or between changes in IOP target setpoints while
in footswitch position 1. It allows adjustment of the time it takes to ramp up from the
initial pressure to the target IOP pressure. The establishment of the initial pressure
is controlled by the IOP FP0 Ramp Control setting. (Custom / Doctors Settings /
Fluidics tab). When the IOP Ramp button is depressed, an adjustment pop-up dialog
is displayed which allows adjustment of the transition time from 0 seconds (Fast) to
3.0 seconds. The Anterior Vitrectomy IOP ramp setting is independent from phaco
and I/A steps.
Irr Factor (x) (used with Active Fluidics* technology)

When Active Fluidics* technology is used, the Irrigation Factor (Irr Factor) function
is available, and works in conjunction with the Estimated Leakage Comp feature
(Custom/Doctor Settings/Fluidics). This feature attempts to compensate for the
pressure losses along the irrigation path by adding a factor which is based on the
estimated irrigation fluid flow. The scale factor ranges from Off (0) to 2; the larger the
value the more compensation is employed. This scale factor is empirically adjusted to
compensate for numerous factors including: tip, sleeve, wound architecture, wound
size, and surgical technique.

When a surgery step is selected, its button expands in size and becomes animated,
and the surgical parameters for the surgery step are displayed in the Surgery Window.
Pressing Procedural Step Buttons is allowed regardless of footpedal position. A step
change into Coag or Vit is allowed with the footpedal depressed, but the footpedal
must be released to exit.
The Centurion* Vision System provides operational surgical steps to support efficient
lens removal and IOL implantation. Each step allows for the adjustment of surgical
parameters such as power, aspiration, and vacuum settings according to doctor
preferences. These step buttons are arranged in sequential order from left to right
across the bottom of the screen to provide a complete surgical procedure of different
settings associated with different aspects of the procedure.
Factory-preset operating parameters for each step are programmed into the system as
"Alcon Settings." These default operating parameters can be temporarily modified,
and then they can be permanently saved with a new doctor's name by using the
Custom / Save As dialog.
The procedural steps are selectable from the unit’s front display screen, from the
remote control unit, or from the footswitch. Selecting a new step results in a voice
confirmation. (The user has the ability to turn the voice feature off via the Custom /
Doctor Settings / Sounds dialog.)
3.3 Stationary Step Buttons

Stationary step buttons are always present in Surgery screens to support Coag and
Ant Vit. These two steps are selectable from the display screen and remote control,
but can be exited using either the display screen, remote control, or footswitch (if
footswitch button programmed for Step+, Step–, Step ±) when pedal is in position 0
or 1.

SURGERY MODES
Phaco Mode of Operation

When a phaco (phacoemulsification) step is selected, IOP target, irrigation, aspiration,
longitudinal power (phaco power), and torsional amplitude (ultrasonic oscillations) are
provided by the handpiece. In this mode of operation longitudinal power and ultrasonic
oscillations alternately turn On and Off. Ultrasound power and torsional displacement of the
phaco tip is proportional to the longitudinal and torsional settings displayed on the console
front panel. The user has the ability to adjust the IOP target, aspiration rate, vacuum levels,

Power/Amplitude
The Longitudinal Power and Torsional Amplitude settings are increased or decreased
via adjustment dialogs in increments of 5% from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of
100%. Power and amplitude to the handpiece is controlled by one of two methods: fixed
or linear footpedal control.
• If fixed footpedal control is selected (equal start and end values in footpedal
position 3), the end value indicates the fixed power or amplitude delivered to the
handpiece. To increase or decrease the value, press an oval display button to bring
up the adjustment dialog window (see left image in Figure 2-83 for example of
fixed Longitudinal Power adjustment) and use the adjustment buttons to increase
or decrease the fixed value.
• If linear footpedal control is selected (unequal start and end values through footpedal
position 3), the starting and end values in the dialog indicate increasing or decreasing
power or amplitude throughout footpedal position 3. To change the starting and end
values, press an oval display button to bring up the adjustment dialog window (see
right image in Figure 2-83 for example of Torsional Amplitude adjustment) and use
the adjustment buttons to increase or decrease the starting and end values.
Figure 2-83 Power/Amplitude Dialogs - These two screens show a fixed Longitudinal Power dialog
(left) and a linear Torsional Amplitude dialog (right), identified by the horizontal and diagonal lines in
their oval display buttons. See Figure 2-67 for description of Oval Display Button Dialog.
8065752943 2.87
FOR REFERENCE ONLY
Phaco Timing Configurations
In footpedal position 3, longitudinal power and torsional amplitude are delivered
to the phaco tip through a variety of timing configurations. Depending on the mode
selected (Continuous, Pulse, Burst) the timing can be continuous, or can include off-
times between longitudinal/torsional pulses. The three modes are explained below.
• Continuous Phaco Mode - In this mode phaco power is delivered 100% of the
time in footpedal position 3. When the Longitudinal power or Torsional amplitude
setting is set to 0% (no power), then only torsional or longitudinal phaco power is
delivered, for 100% of the time, to the handpiece tip. This allows the user to have
continuous ultrasonic longitudinal power or torsional amplitude, if so desired. If
longitudinal power and torsional amplitude are both used, then continuous phaco
provides 20% of its duty cycle for longitudinal power and torsional ultrasonic
oscillations for the remaining 80% when in footpedal position 3, and repeats this
cycle over and over again as long as the footpedal is in position 3. This produces
continuous alternations between longitudinal power and torsional amplitude.
The user can select any fixed value or linear start and end values for both
Longitudinal Power % and Torsional Amplitude % when in footpedal position 3
by invoking their associated oval display button dialogs.

• Pulse Phaco Mode - When operating in this mode of operation, longitudinal
power and torsional amplitude turn On and Off at a power and frequency
determined by the Pulse Rate (pps) setting, and on a duty cycle adjustable by
the operator (Time On %). The sum of Torsional Time On (%) and Longitudinal
Time On (%) cannot exceed 100%. If less than 100%, the remaining duty cycle,
or percent time Off, is an off-time.
For example, in the figures below, one pulse (torsional, longitudinal, off-time)
is 100 ms duration because of the selected pulse rate of 10 pps. Duration of
the phaco pulse, therefore, is 50 ms torsional (100 ms X 50%) plus 10 ms
longitudinal (100 ms X 10%) and the remaining 40 ms is an Off period.

FOR REFERENCE ONLY
• Burst Phaco Mode - When operating in this mode of operation, torsional burst is
followed immediately by longitudinal burst, followed by a pause. Duration of the
phaco burst is determined by the settings on the panel; for example, in the Figures
below the On Time is 70 ms torsional, 30 ms longitudinal, and the duration of the
Off Time is determined by the linear position of the footpedal in position 3. At
the beginning the Off Time is equal to 2500 ms, and it is gradually reduced as the
footpedal is depressed. When the footpedal is depressed all the way, the Off Time
will be equal to that set on the panel – 30 ms in the given example.
If Torsional (%) Amplitude and/or Longitudinal (%) Power are set to zero, then
there are no torsional or longitudinal contributions to the burst, and their duty
cycles (On Time ms) have no effect.

Irrigation/Aspiration Mode of Operation
Irrigation/Aspiration mode (Irr/Asp) provides irrigation and simultaneous peristaltic

aspiration for use with I/A handpieces and tips. Irrigation/Aspiration control supports
all surgical steps except coagulation.
In Irr/Asp mode there are only two footpedal positions. Irrigation is provided in
footpedal positions 1 and 2; Aspiration is provided in footpedal position 2.
All Irr/Asp steps contain IOP target, vacuum, and aspiration fluidics control
parameters. These parameters are displayed in the lower control panel portion of the
Surgery Screen. The Surgery Control Panel in the upper portion does not contain any
surgical parameters, but does contain an indication of the step type; i.e., Irr /Asp.
The left screen in Figure 2-84 is an example of an Irr/Asp surgery screen. If the
AutoSert* injector step is enabled (Custom/Procedure Builder/New Step/AutoSert*),
the setup controls for the Intrepid* AutoSert* IOL Injector are displayed in the upper
control panel, as shown in the right screen (D/C cartridge selected). This allows the
nurse to prepare the AutoSert* injector while the surgeon is performing Irr/Asp steps.

Vacuum Control
The operator can adjust the vacuum limit using the front display panel or the remote
control. The adjustable vacuum limit range is 0 to 700+ mmHg (0 to 933+ hPa),
where 700+ mmHg (933+ hPa) is limited by atmospheric pressure.
• Fixed Vacuum Control - Fixed vacuum control provides a fixed vacuum limit
when aspirating in footpedal position 2.
• Linear Vacuum Control - Linear vacuum control provides linear control of

vacuum in footpedal position 2. The actual vacuum limit is proportional to the
footpedal position, and tracks with footswitch penetration within the footpedal
position.
Aspiration Control
The operator can adjust the aspiration limit using the front display panel or the remote
control. The adjustable aspiration limit range is 0 to 60 cc/min (0 to 60 mL/min).
• Fixed Aspiration Control - Fixed aspiration control provides a fixed aspiration

flow rate through footpedal position 2.
• Linear Aspiration Control - Linear aspiration control provides linear control of

aspiration flow rate in footpedal position 2. Aspiration flow rate is controlled
linearly based on settings and by footpedal penetration in position 2
Using Fill Step for Irrigation/Aspiration

The Fill step can be added at any location in the procedure using the Custom/
Procedure Builder menu. It is recommended to add the Fill step before the first I/A
step to facilitate removal of air from the I/A handpiece prior to use. Adding the Fill
step after the last I/A step helps clean the I/A tip and handpiece.
When transitioned into the Fill step, irrigation and reflux will be enabled
simultaneously for up to 10 seconds. If Irrigation Fill is enabled in the Custom/System
Settings/General menu, this step will be Irrigation Fill, and irrigation will be enabled
without reflux.

AutoSert* Mode of Operation
The AutoSert* injector step can be added at any location in the procedure using the
Custom/Procedure Builder menu. The AutoSert* injector step is typically positioned
before the last I/A step.
The Intrepid* AutoSert* IOL Injector, after preparation with a loaded, single-use
cartridge, gives the surgeon footpedal control of AcrySof* lens insertion in footpedal
position 2. Contact your Alcon representative for the latest qualified lens/cartridge.
When the the IOL injector is connected to the Centurion* system it is calibrated, and
if successful, it becomes ready for use.
• The Load Plunger button is used to install a plunger, should this be required.
• The Preload IOL button is used to prepare the IOL injector by advancing the
lens to the preload lens position. Alternatively, the doctor can simply press the
footpedal into position 2 and the preload activity will automatically proceed.
• The Retract button is used to retract the handpiece plunger when lens insertion is
completed or when otherwise necessary. Alternatively, pressing and holding the
Retract button (Reflux) on the footswitch can also be used to retract the plunger.

to retract the plunger back into the IOL injector.

• Initial Rate (mm/s) - Once the lens is at the Preload Lens position, the Initial Rate
setting (mm/s) controls the fixed delivery velocity up to the Pause position.
• Pause (s) - Once the Pause position is reached, a preprogrammed pause in forward
advancement is initiated. This momentary pause allows internal stresses on the
lens to be relieved, thus ensuring proper lens delivery.
• Final Rate (mm/s) - This setting controls the fixed or linear velocity at which the
lens is injected into the eye.
PRECAUTION: The default values for the Initial Rate and Pause ensure proper IOL
injection over a worst case range of IOL size and ambient temperature conditions.
Please refer to the Intrepid* AutoSert* IOL Injector DFU and consult with your
Alcon representative for additional guidance in adjusting these parameters for your
environment.
CAUTIONS
• Do not ultrasonically clean the IOL injector connector. Ultrasonic cleaning of IOL
injector connector will cause irreparable damage.
• Use care when handling handpiece, particularly when cleaning. Always clean
handpiece over a surface cushioned with a pad or rubber mat.
• Do not disconnect cable connector from Centurion* system console until the
handpiece plunger is fully retracted.
• Do not immerse the IOL injector in any fluid when the plunger is not retracted.
• As part of a properly-maintained surgical environment, it is recommended that a
backup IOL injector be made available in the event the AutoSert* IOL injector does
not perform as expected.

Coagulation Mode of Operation
The Coagulation mode provides approximately 1.5 MHz frequency bipolar

coagulation to drive a brush or forceps in footpedal position 2. The percentage of
maximum available coagulation power can be set from 0% to 100% by pressing the
Power display button to bring up the adjustment dialog window. In the window select
either fixed or linear footpedal control, then press the up or down arrows to increase
or decrease the power limit (s).
Coagulation begins upon entering footpedal position 2, and an audible tone is

initialized. As in all other steps, coagulation settings are retained in memory so that
when re-entering the Coagulation step, the previous settings are displayed.
• Fixed Coagulation Control -Fixed control provides bipolar coagulation at the

preset limit when the footpedal enters position 2.
• Linear Coagulation Control - Coagulation Power begins at its lower setting

when entering footpedal position 2, and it reaches its maximum setting when the
footpedal is fully depressed.

Anterior Vitrectomy Mode of Operation
The Anterior Vitrectomy (Ant Vit) mode is used to drive a 23 gauge, pneumatically
operated, Centurion* vitrectomy cutter. Fixed and linear control of the Cut Rate
is adjustable from 1 to 4000 cuts per minute in all vitrectomy modes (except for
peripheral iridectomy mode where the cut rate is only fixed control). Fixed and linear
control of Vacuum and Aspiration is provided in all vitrectomy modes.
Anterior Vit and I/A Cut modes are offered by default from the drop down menu, while
Epi Removal, Peripheral Irid, and Visco Asp are offered as steps in the Custom/Procedure
Builder dialog.
A switch on the footswitch may be assigned to enable and disable the Vit Cutter
using the Custom/Doctor Settings/Footswitch tab. When the Vit Cutter is disabled,
I/A functionality in footpedal position 2 is unchanged, but the Vit Cutter does not cut
and the message “Cut Disabled” is displayed. The assigned Vit Cutter switch may be
pressed in any footpedal position, and the function takes effect immediately.
An on-screen Vitrectomy Setup dialog may appear when entering the Ant Vit step to
help the user prepare the vitrectomy cutter for surgery (see Figure 2-95). This feature
can be enabled or disabled in the Custom/Doctor Settings/General tab by pressing the

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
This section details a recommended setup and check‑out procedure for the Centurion*
Vision System. The steps on the following pages cover preparation for cataract lens
removal surgery including irrigation and aspiration, coagulation, and vitrectomy using
packs supplied by Alcon.
The Centurion* Vision System, including Alcon-approved consumables and accessories,

constitutes a complete surgical system and is intended exclusively for use by licensed
ophthalmic surgeons and their surgical teams. These surgical teams are experienced
at conducting phacoemulsification procedures in a properly-maintained surgical
environment (qualified personnel, availability of backup equipment) and are familiar with
the operation of the equipment used as outlined in operator’s manuals and directions for
use (setup/checkout procedures to be completed before the surgical procedure; processing
of reusable devices; maintenance; etc.).
The procedures are divided into two columns and presume a surgical team of four people:
Surgeon and Scrub Nurse in the sterile field, a Circulating Nurse in the non‑sterile field,
and a Sterilization Technician. In the left column a directive is given; in the right column
the responsible team member is identified.
Any problems pertaining to setup and check‑out procedures should first be directed to
the Troubleshooting section of this manual. If questions still exist, contact the Alcon
Technical Services Department or your local Alcon representative.

If Infiniti* OZil* handpiece, plug into bottom connector.
12. From FMS, connect the female luer on aspiration line to male aspiration port Scrub Nurse
on handpiece. Connect male luer on irrigation line to female irrigation port
on handpiece. If Centurion* handpiece, turn the white luer lock clockwise
to lock irrigation fitting to handpiece (see Figure 3-3).
13. Hold handpiece with tip pointed down into test chamber (see Figure 3-4) Scrub Nurse
and activate Fill on the setup screen. While observing stream of fluid from
irrigation and aspiration ports, fill test chamber completely and slide it over
end of handpiece. Ensure no air bubbles are present in test chamber. Press
handpiece into instrument tray pouch with tip pointed up, and secure irrigation/
aspiration lines to clips on top of tray. Ensure tubing is not kinked.
WARNINGS!
If stream of fluid is weak or absent while filling test chamber, good fluidics
response will be jeopardized. Good clinical practice dictates the testing
for adequate irrigation and aspiration flow prior to entering the eye.
Ensure that the tubings are not occluded during any phase of operation.
When using a bimanual procedure, ensure the irrigation handpiece and

settings have sufficient flow characteristics. Use of irrigation handpieces
or settings with insufficient flow characteristics may result in a fluidic
imbalance and may cause a shallowing or collapsing of the anterior chamber.
If an Infiniti* OZil* handpiece is connected to the bottom connector, and

Ultrachop step is added to surgery steps, press the Swap Phaco / UltraChop
button and repeat steps 12 and 13.
14. Activate Test Handpiece on the setup screen. The test consists of a handpiece Scrub Nurse
tuning exercise and fluidic flow check. If handpiece fails tuning or flow test,
an advisory is displayed. The handpiece tuning process can be aborted at any
time by pressing cancel (X).
WARNINGS!
If the handpiece test chamber is collapsed after tuning, there is a potential
of low irrigation flow through the handpiece and may result in a fluidic
imbalance. This, in turn, may cause a shallowing or collapsing of the
anterior chamber.
Good clinical practice dictates testing for adequate irrigation, aspiration

flow, reflux, and operation as applicable for each handpiece prior to
entering eye.
